lots of antifreeze coming out of exhuast when i turn it over?

just ****** with ya guys...but there really is a ****-ton of radiator fluid coming out when we tried to turn it over just to see whatd happen.

so i blew a coolant seal...isnt my luck just amazing? thats 2 down in just a couple months...anyone want me to break their car? just let me drive it for a week

anywho...trying to make light of the situation considering now i get a new engine...$$$...yea...im broke...its my graduation gift...

what i guess im really wanting to know is if there is a place i can get a rebuilt 13b without having to turn in a core for like less than $1500? or at all? and how hard would it be to hook all the EFI **** back up to it on an -se? (ive got an -se at home with everything on it but the engine and the clutch master cylinder...but have no experience with the EFI on them....)

Brenden

p.s. may goldy rest in piece...a moment of silence please for another one dead and gone...

My 83 was doing that 1.5 years ago so I gave it the special treatment, which worked until this month so it's due again. The trick is to get the cooling system cleaned out with degreaser then flush out all the degreaser itself.

Not goldy too?!
Damn, B, you got the worst luck

I've got a spare 12a that I can sell you on the cheap. . . . it doesn't run. . . . on water (one of my crazy experiments gone awry).

Hit the junkyards for some older RX's, and that'll get you a good (non 6port) 13 for cheap.

I was over at the JY a week ago and all the FBs had their engines pulled. And I have a 13B SE and it has the water seal problem too.
